Today, we continue our week-long focus on the Holy Spirit by exploring what it means for us to grow in friendship with him.

We'll never have a kinder, more present friend than the God who dwells within us.

May we discover the pathway he's laid before us

to grow in friendship with him today as we take time to experience him in a fresh way.

The friendship of a Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them His covenant.

Psalm 2514.

In friendship with the Holy Spirit, we begin to experience a sense of wholeness and joy,

unattainable through any other relationship or aspect of life.

Rapid and wonderful transformation results when you discover the wealth of love that comes

with a continual, real friendship with a living God.

In friendship with God comes peace, security, honesty, healing, and freedom.

As you live your life in step with the spirit, you experience what Adam and Eve experienced

as they walked with God himself in the Garden of Eden.

You discover the vast reservoir of love, affection, and perfect help that's available to

you in the Holy Spirit.

Open your heart today to receive a fresh revelation of God's desire for friendship with

you through the Holy Spirit. Jesus says in John 1515, no longer do I call

you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends.

For all that I have heard from my father, I have made known to you.

God longs for friendship with His people.

And through the Holy Spirit, we have a continual connection with God available to us.

The Spirit desires to do life with you.
